Here's a look at what brokerage Mirae Asset Sharekhan said on the ITC and HUL shares ahead of their Q4 earnings.
Sharekhan has a buy call on the ITC stock with a price target of Rs 400 (a 31% upside to the current market price). The brokerage has a buy call on HUL stock with a price target of Rs 2750, an upside of 27% from the current market price.
In its Q4 results preview report, the brokerage said it is positive on the FMCG sector.
"Ongoing geopolitical tensions would have a minimal impact on staple companies in Q4 as most companies have a limited exposure to the Middle East (ex-Dabur/Emami). Margin pressure is likely in Q1FY27 on a steep rise in crude oil prices and a weak rupee," said the brokerage.
Shares of Asian Paints, Britannia, Marico, Nestle, Radico Khaitan and Allied Blenders & Distillers are the brokerage's preferred picks in the sector.
